What it looks like in practice

Four trades with the same problem and different words for it. Find yours, or read all four: the pattern is the same every time.

Tree management and grounds care

The situation
An arborist walks an avenue of a few hundred trees checking for visible damage and deadwood, for the owner’s management plan.
How it goes today
Notes on a clipboard, photos on the phone, and hours in the evening matching each photo to the right tree number in a spreadsheet.
With PhotoMap Pro
The owner’s tree numbers are imported, so the round starts with the trees that need checking. Each tree is photographed on the spot with its location and bearing. Next season the report says which trees changed.

Construction, infrastructure and site supervision

The situation
A site manager records buried services and the progress of a renovation, with several subcontractors on the same site.
How it goes today
Loose photos in chat groups with no location. At handover, or when there is damage, there is an argument about where and when something was taken.
With PhotoMap Pro
Every photo sits on the plan with a timestamp and a bearing. At handover the main contractor gets a file per zone, and the photographs carry their own place and date.

Loss adjusting and condition surveys

The situation
An adjuster records storm damage to roofs and outbuildings, spread across a large rural area.
How it goes today
Retyping addresses, sorting photos into folders on the computer, and assembling a document by hand for each case.
With PhotoMap Pro
The adjuster walks the site and records each damage point. The report is produced on the spot, coordinates and dates included, ready to send on.

Council services and enforcement

The situation
A supervisor logs reports across a neighbourhood: fly-tipping, broken lighting, sunken pavements.
How it goes today
Paper lists that still have to be typed into a central reporting system back at the office.
With PhotoMap Pro
The supervisor photographs the problem; location and category are captured with it. The round exports to your own GIS, in Lambert 72.

Your work not on the list? The pattern is almost always the same: you record something in the field and somebody has to turn it into a document. Tell us what you record and we will say honestly whether this fits.
